Hello
I am switching from asp.net to web API, my problem is that I don't know how to create a listview in web API. I want to create it without asp controls and using jquery and ajax. can you please help me ?

I wan to know how to write these codes without asp controls:

C#

<asp:ListView runat="server" ID="lvProducts">
 <itemtemplate>
                    
    ;div class="name"><a href="UProductDetail.aspx?PrID= " + Eval("PrID")">;span><%# Eval("PrName") %></span></a></div>

    <div class="big-btns"> <a href="UProductDetail.aspx?PrID= " + Eval("PrID") ">More Detail;/a> <asp:Button runat="server" ID="btnAddBasket" Text="Add to Basket" OnClick="btnAddBasket_Click" CommandArgument=' Eval("PrID") '/div>

I don't know how to use "commandArgument" in jquery and how to build the ListView and go to product detail by the Product ID selected

What I have tried:

I have tried jqxWidget such as jqxListBox but it didn't help me to simulate the code above

You can't create any visual components in WebAPI, I think you're getting confused with your technologies.

Hello and Thanks for your comment
so should I continue working with old asp.net ?
How should I switch to new technologies ?
You are right, I am very confused.

I think what you're looking for is MVC. There are similarities between WebAPI and MVC, however MVC supports serving of html so that's probably what you want to use.

WebAPI has not visual elements. It's used to provide an interface that exposes methods for other applications to interact with data exposed by your WebAPI.

If you're making a website, you continue to use ASP.NET. WebAPI is entirely separate and is used for a very different purpose.

Your ASP.NET app CAN use a WebAPI to do its data manipulation, essentially using the very same interface a Windows Forms app, or a WPF app, or a mobile app uses to interact with the very same data.
